Job Description

Responsibilities

  • As a PLG Growth Marketing Manager at Branch, you will have the opportunity to turn Branch’s self-serve motion into a predictable, compounding revenue engine.
  • You’ll own the free-to-paid journey end to end — from the moment someone signs up, through activation and first value, to the upgrade that turns them into a paying customer.
  • You’ll run a high-velocity experimentation program across the funnel and use AI to compound your impact — generating variants, personalizing experiences, and surfacing insights.
  • As a member of the Growth team you’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Marketing, and RevOps to build a self-serve experience that activates users and converts them without a sales touch.
  • You’ll also own the demand that feeds the funnel — running paid acquisition, growing organic and AI search, and testing scrappy, unconventional channels to find efficient new sources of signups.
  • As Branch grows its self-serve tiers alongside its enterprise business, you’ll be the person who makes that motion convert.
  • This role is ideal for someone hands-on and deeply analytical, energized by funnel wins, sharp experiments, and finding the next lever that moves self-serve revenue.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of hands-on growth marketing experience, ideally in B2B SaaS or product-led / self-serve environments.
  • A track record of improving funnel metrics — signup, activation, and free-to-paid conversion — through experimentation.
  • Strong command of A/B test design and analysis: forming hypotheses, judging statistical significance, and reading results rigorously.
  • Hands-on experience running paid acquisition (paid search and/or paid social) with accountability for CAC, ROAS, and downstream conversion — not just lead volume.
  • Working knowledge of organic growth — SEO, content-led acquisition, and emerging AI / answer-engine search — and how it compounds for a PLG funnel.
  • Hands-on fluency with AI tools for growth and marketing work — using them daily to scale content, personalization, analysis, and experiment operations.
  • Proficiency with product analytics tools (Amplitude, Mixpanel, or similar) and comfort pulling your own data; working knowledge of GA4.
  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Data to ship growth initiatives.
  • Solid grasp of PLG metrics and motions — activation rate, time-to-value, free-to-paid conversion, and expansion.
  • Excellent written communication and the ability to turn data into a clear, business-focused story.
  • A very strong bias for action — you ship experiments and learn rather than wait for perfect information.

Benefits

  • a comprehensive benefits package.
  • From health and wellness programs to paid time off and retirement planning options, we provide a range of benefits for qualified employees.
